How else can you explain the cost difference, other than having to buy the phone.

Being able to fire up any video and have it play immediately with no ads is really, really nice.

I don't know, I haven't gotten into the weeds. All I know is:
1) No ads.
2) YouTube Music included.
I paid for it on the basis of the first feature alone, which is worth it if you watch any shows with regularity on YT and/or watch it a bit just about every day, which I absolutely do. And I'd say it's actually kind of a bargain if you use it for #2 instead of some other music streaming service. But ultimately YT Music was just gravy.

I’m also hyper-aware of all the “services” and how those little things add up.
Walmart+ < Amazon Prime, but I get it for free with my discount phone plan, which also eliminated the need for an ISP.
I just hate signing up for services, worried that you look down one day and see a 2010 new car payment.

The killer app is “playing YT in the background” so that you can use your mobile browser for something else. The fact that it will play in the background on desktop, doesn’t help their cause.
